About This Novel
Gods, witches, mothers, mortals, ignored, exiled, isolated, chosen, destroyers, survivors, guardians, reshapers, expelled people, bullied people, people who resist patriarchy and divine power... Those who bravely control their own destiny! In the temple of the sun god Helios, Circe was the odd child-neither as divinely perfect as her father, nor as seductive as her mother. She was not blessed and loved when she was born, and even her biological brothers and sisters ostracized her. Rejected by the gods, Circe had no choice but to turn to the mortal world for understanding and companionship. In her contact with mortals, she gradually discovers her talent - witchcraft, whose power can even threaten the gods. Zeus feared her power and exiled her to the remote island of Ea. There she honed her skills, tamed beasts, and met famous characters in the mythical world-dealing with the extremely cunning Hermes among the gods of Olympus; she went to Crete to help Pasiphae conquer the Minotaur Minotaur; and she briefly but harvested great wealth from the legendary craftsman Daedalus A powerful love affair; witnessing Medea's madness; of course, the most noteworthy thing is the visit of the Greek hero Odysseus... Circe's life is dark and profound, but she is not a part of the desperate darkness, but a creature struggling to escape in order to control her own destiny. This abandoned woman, whose soul shines like gold, bursts out with scorching heat and light, spends her life composing a generous tragedy of Promethean-style defense of freedom.
